Dissertation Advisor: Steven Levitsky Amanda Leigh Pinkston Insider Democracy: Private Sector Weakness and the Closed Political Class in Democratic Africa Abstract The democratization and market reforms that were implemented across sub-Saharan Africa in the 1990s were intended to disperse political and economic power away from the ruling elite. In a comparison study of Ghana and Benin - two of Africa’s most stable democ- racies - this dissertation shows that neither goal is achieved where the private sector is weak. The result, as demonstrated by the case of Benin, is insider democracy: fully democratic in- stitutions are in place, but government insiders predominate among the political elite; those without pre-existing ties to the state are unlikely to win office.
